Uncertain times at Mendota

La Salle, Ottawa highlighted for possible marijuana startups Areas deemed disproportionately aﬀected by drugs, other factors By Shaw Media

Since 1949, the vegetable canning and processing plant has been a big employer and a focal point in Mendota. Once operated by Cal Pak, the plant operated by Del Monte had 110 full-time employees and more than 350 seasonal employees in August when the company announced it would close the plant by June 2020. Del Monte has had an impact on the community that goes far beyond direct employees, such as sponsoring the Sweet Corn Festival and providing income to farmers and truckers.

Will Del Monte sell? Farmers and workers remain in limbo By Craig Sterrett NEWS EDITOR

MENDOTA — City officials this week confirmed that representatives of a company that packages vegetables and fruit have taken a look at the plant Del Monte plans to close next year in Mendota. It’s a glimmer of hope, but little more than that, for city officials, contract farms and hundreds of employees. Representatives from New York-based Seneca Foods flew in to Illinois Valley Regional Airport in Peru to check out the Mendota plant, the NewsTribune was told by both Mendota Mayor David Boelk and an airport staff member. However, Boelk said corporation leaders have not talked with the city, so he does not know if Seneca — which has packaging plants in Princeville, Ill., and Janesville, Wis., and bought one

hang on to a blind hope that a new employer can go in and take right over where Del Monte leaves oﬀ. “It’s a viable building. It’s all set up to go,” Boelk said. While he’s hopeful the building will sell, he also has seen a corporation close a Mendota plant — such as Motor Wheel — and more or less “forget about it.” In that case, the city and schools received taxes on the industrial property for several years, but the jobs were gone. “I want to see jobs,” Boelk said, adding that the tax revenue from employers is not of as much importance as having employers in town. The plant had up to 30 salaried personnel, 111 full-time employees and about 362 seasonal workers at the time of the August announcement. See DEL MONTE Page A3

Residents living in designated areas of Ottawa and La Salle may get state help if they choose to open a recreational marijuana business. Gov. J.B. Pritzker’s administration released a map of Illinois this week showing the areas where the state wants to provide opportunities for applicants to benefit from the legalized recreational marijuana industry. The Department of Commerce and Economic Opportunity determined disproportionately affected areas using criteria established in the new state law. To qualify as a disproportionately impacted area, a census tract must have high rates of arrest, conviction and incarceration related to marijuana, among other qualifications, including poverty, citizens qualifying for food assistance benefits and unemployment. Areas of La Salle and Ottawa were the lone locations highlighted in La Salle County. The area in Ottawa includes most of the city north of Norris Drive to Interstate 80.

Help wanted: Mendota looks to address ﬁreﬁghter, EMT staffing By Brett Herrmann NEWSTRIBUNE REPORTER

MENDOTA — The full-time staff at the Mendota fire department have been stretched thin for the past year, with some members racking up 120 hours of overtime in a two-week pay period. To put it lightly, they need help. “We are in dire circumstances right now,” fire chief Dennis

Rutishauser told Mendota city council members at a public safety committee meeting on Thursday evening. “With the current full-time staff there just isn’t enough.” Mendota’s department, like many local departments, is struggling to find the manpower to staff the station during all hours of the day. The fire department takes care of the city’s ambulance calls, which occur more frequently than fire calls.

Right now, the department has ﬁve full-time employees and about 20 paid on-call volunteers who respond via pagers during an emergency. But because the paid on-call personnel cannot always respond, a lot of the burden has been thrust onto the full-time members, who are already making up shifts for an unﬁlled position. A full-time fire department member retired last August and

the city has not yet hired a replacement. The purpose of Thursday’s meeting was to address these staﬃng concerns and the consensus among the council members was that they needed to take a deeper look into the problem and ﬁnd some solutions. “This staffing issue affects the safety of the people here in Mendota right now,” said alderman Jay Miller.

and members of the fire department put the concerns front and center with future meetings planned to address the issues moving forward. “I want to do some looking,” said alderman John Pierson. Around 15 members and supporters of the fire department were in attendance to share thoughts on what might be able to help with staffing issues. One suggestion was to find a way to make the training process easier on recruits. Rutishauser said training requirements and certifications for both firefighters and EMTs continue to become more strenuous. And for EMTs, candidates have to pay their own way through the training before being reimbursed upon completion a two-year course. Increased compensation was also brought up. Rutishauser said the pay for the on-call staff has been $1 per hour for about 25 years. Another suggestion was to find part-time hires from other communities to help fill in. Potential part-timers would likely be trained already and would not have to receive full benefits from the city. Hiring more full-time staff was also suggested. But the main issue for

How many respond to calls? Fire chief Dennis Rutishauser said two EMTs are required to go on every ambulance call. He said the city has two ambulances and there have been recent occurrences where both ambulances are tied up at the same time and other cities have to cover their station. For fires, Rutishauser said 15 people are required to be on scene for a house fire. Mendota’s department doesn’t always have that manpower, but mutual aid and auto aid agreements bring other departments to town during bigger calls. Otherwise, fire protection codes and standards suggest departments follow the “two in, two out” rule on the scene of a structure fire. That means if two firefighters are going into a burning building, there need to be others outside of the structure to rescue them in case something goes wrong.

the council was the funding for more staff. How can they address the staffing concerns without hurting the city coffers? “Everything we do has a financial impact,” said alderman Bill Hunt.

Weger parole hearing set back Starved Rock Murders convict is 80 years old By Tom Collins

NEWSTRIBUNE SENIOR REPORTER

A parole hearing for the Starved Rock murderer has been moved to the week before Thanksgiving. Chester O. Weger, 80, learns Nov. 21 whether he’ll go free after serving nearly six decades for murder. Weger was initially set for a parole hearing on Halloween; but a spokesman for the Illinois Prisoner Review Board said Thursday the board’s hearing schedule was moved back a full three weeks. Weger will not personally be present that day. By rule, prisoners are interviewed Weger in a separate process, and board members consider release at hearings where prosecutors and other interested parties can address the board. Weger is serving life in prison for killing Lillian Oetting, one of three women bludgeoned to death in 1960 at Starved Rock State Park. He also admitted to killing Oetting’s two companions in a recanted confession. Speculation has grown in recent years that Weger might be freed in light of his advancing age, and at hearings in 2018 and 2017, Weger fell one vote short of going free. Additionally, Weger’s prosecutor died recently — Peru attorney Anthony Raccuglia passed away in May at age 85 — and the board, earlier this year, freed another local killer, Henry Hillenbrand, who was serving an effective life sentence for two Streator shooting deaths.

Kevin Ganz of Compton snapped this photo on July 17 of his field with a Del Monte pea crop in full bloom. Ganz thinks his field was the last or at least one of the last pea fields harvested by Del Monte near Mendota. The Del Monte plant, a fixture in the city since the mid-20th century, is scheduled to begin closing after the current pack season around Oct. 31. The complete closing of the plant is scheduled for June 2020.

Del Monte FROM PAGE ONE

UNKNOWN IMPACT ON SCHOOL Some operations at the plant were scheduled to begin winding down this month, and Mendota High School superintendent Jeff Prusator has been trying to gauge how that will affect enrollment, revenue and the community. “Layoffs will begin in stages after pack season and conclude when all labeling, shipping, and closing activities are completed around June 2020,” a Del Monte spokesman said Friday. The complete plant closing is set for June 2020, and as of Thursday, Prusator said not one family had informed the district that they were moving out of Mendota as a result of the announcement. Wednesday, workers’ cars filled Del Monte parking spaces, and some sweet corn still was being harvested or waiting for harvest this week not far from the company’s farm shop near the plant. Prusator said he had heard rumors around town that more than one company had toured the plant, but he doesn’t know if that’s true or if they’re interested.

And, even if the plant sold, he cannot predict how much of the operation or how many employees a buyer would want. He said he has been trying to speculate on the impact on revenue and enrollment, but he has no way to make good estimates. Prusator said a lot of the parttime and seasonal workers had additional jobs and used the work at Del Monte to make ends meet or supplement their income. He said he would imagine a lot of those people would look for different part-time or seasonal work. Property tax revenue from the assessed value at the site actually is likely to jump, at least for a few months next year. The Tax Increment Financing district within which the plant sits will expire Dec. 31. However, Prusator noted the company could file for tax relief at some point. FARMERS BRACE FOR CHANGE Leaders of farm families who have grown peas and sweet corn for several decades for Del Monte say they’ve heard a lot of speculative talk. “I think there are people who are hopeful that someone

else will take over,” said Joe Beetz, who, like his grandfather, Samuel Sr., and father, Samuel Jr., has grown crops for Del Monte on a portion of family farm. It won’t be a massive financial loss if the Beetz family can’t grow peas in spring and wait for Del Monte to harvest them in early summer, and then plant soybeans in or before July. However, often growing peas and double-cropping on the land provided extra income. “Sometimes it worked out great,” Beetz said. “It’s just a little bit of a diversifying crop.” Like Beetz, Kevin Ganz of Compton has allowed Del Monte to plant and harvest peas on some of his land five miles north of Mendota. “My dad started growing peas in the mid-’50s,” Ganz said. After that annual harvest, usually in June, the Ganz family would plant soybeans and hope the soybeans matured before the first frost. This year it was so wet Ganz’s peas didn’t go in until early June, and they weren’t in full bloom until July 17. “Actually I think that we had the last field (of peas) they harvested,” Ganz speculated.

But for now, owners who hosted Del Monte crops find themselves in a new predicament — deciding what to plant next year. “One guy said it would be a Hail Mary if it sold in time for next year’s production,” said Kyle Schoenholz, whose family has a small portion of the land where Del Monte grows peas. “It’s a pretty good cash crop,” he said of peas. If a new company does not come in, however, Schoenholz can consider planting corn and soybeans. Ganz said he does not believe Del Monte would plant peas next year, even if an early-planting opportunity arises. He said he has been told Del Monte will keep “a few guys on in the field shop until the machinery is cleaned up and moved to another location or sold,” “I’m not sure if the plant is doing any winter runs like they used to,” Ganz said. “But I think their goal is to have the warehouse empty and plant machinery gone by June.” Craig Sterrett can be reached at (815) 220-6935 or ntlocal@ newstrib.com.

Discouraging visits to Starved Rock State Park and surrounding attractions was not one of the suggested solutions to overcrowding and other issues in a report released this week. Instead, in seeking solutions for one of America’s busiest state or national parks, research specialists indicated the Illinois Department of Natural Resources, Starved Rock Lodge and surrounding communities should follow some examples from other parts of the United States. “The underlying strategy is that Illinois can draw on proven ideas from elsewhere and anticipated future recreation interests of Illinois residents to create a balanced solution for Starved Rock,” said Mim Evans, a Northern Illinois Universitybased research specialist who worked with IDNR and Starved Rock Lodge. Other NIU-based specialists conducting the study were Andy Blanke, Abigail Evans and Norm Walzer. To address overcrowding and other issues, the Illinois See STUDIES Page A4

Lines in the sand drawn over contract Unfair-labor practice complaint filed by Mendota teachers By the NewsTribune staff

MENDOTA — A Mendota teachers strike looks increasingly likely after a Friday statement by the school board saying their last offer is just that, their last offer. And the answer Friday from the teachers’ union came in the form of a lengthy rebuttal of board statements, as well as a notification that Mendota Education Association is filing an unfair labor practices complaint against the board. In a statement, the Mendota Elementary board said the teachers union left an Oct. 1 meeting without a deal and that additional offers to meet with a federal mediator went unanswered. “The board is disappointed, and at this time has no evidence that the union is willing to continue to negotiate,” the statement read. “The board’s last official communication from the union indicates they intend to strike. “The board’s offer provided to the union on Oct. 1, 2019, is the board’s final offer.” In the statement, the school board said it believed the offer is “fair (and) provides the largest contract expense ever offered to the union.” The board further argued the offer achieves the dual goals of using taxes responsibly while offering “a substantial raise for each of the next three years, along with an increase in the district’s retirement contribution, and a deluxe family insurance plan to our teachers.” “It is our sincere hope the union does not choose to strike,” the statement read, “knowing it will disrupt the education of our students, and create an undue burden to the families of Mendota.”

“The Association is willing to continue to bargain, but with the board exclaiming it has issued its ‘final offer’, we are unable to proceed until that statement has been publicly withdrawn.”

— Mendota Education Association But Friday night, Mendota Education Association announced it filed an unfair labor practice complaint with the Illinois Labor Relations Board for “bad faith bargaining by the district.” The unfair-practices notice came at the end of a lengthy response to the board’s letter. The union says contrary to a statement by the board, the union had notified the mediator of its availability to meet on Oct. 10 and to begin at 8 a.m. and bargain into the evening. The two sides have not agreed to a meeting date, and the union takes issue with the board telling the press it has made a “final offer” while the board also says it is still willing to meet. “It is unwise and destructive to bargain in the press and we are dismayed and concerned by this board tactic,” says the statement emailed by Brandon Scheppers, MEA co-president, “As the association believes it is necessary to protect our members and the process, we are pursuing legal action by filing an unfair labor practice with the Illinois Labor Relations Board for Bad Faith Bargaining against the district. “There are rules that govern bargaining and until those rules are followed by the Board of Education, this process is stalled. The Association is willing to continue to bargain, but with the board exclaiming it has issued its ‘final offer’, we are unable to proceed until that statement has

Studies FROM PAGE A3

Department of Natural Resources and Starved Rock Lodge turned to NIU’s Center for Governmental Studies. They asked CGS to research ways to improve the visitor experience, protect natural resources and work with nearby communities that provide services to park and lodge visitors. Suggestions from the research findings include new ways to manage visitors, Evans said. ä “Reservation systems like one used at Enchanted Rock State Park in Fredericksburg, Texas, seem to work by controlling access, allowing for flexibility and data gathering, redirecting visitors to low visitation days, delivering pre-visit education, and collecting fees,” she said. ä Creating broad-based public support for Starved Rock State Park and Lodge will make it easier to sustain and improve both over the long run. Adding a variety of new large- or small-scale facilities is a possible strategy for broadening support, the research shows. ä Large-scale facilities such as treetop rope and zip line courses, expanded museums and education centers, and water play areas can bring in new visitors while possibly diverting some visitors from overcrowded trails, creating a better experience for everyone. These kinds of facilities also can make a state park more of an overnight attraction, growing the local economy. * Private-public partnerships can make these projects affordable to build and manage. Small-scale improvements such as disc golf and dog parks are relatively inexpensive to install and operate, and they can generate revenue that more than supports their maintenance. ä “It may seem odd to suggest attracting more visitors as a way to address overcrowding at Starved Rock, but with the right mix of facilities and management, and given the acreage added to the park and yet to be developed, more visitors can be part of an overall strategy. “For Starved Rock, it’s all about finding the right balance,” Evans said. “Critical are ways to enhance the visitor experience, preserve the natural resources, find funding sources, and build support from the surrounding communities by providing opportunities

been publicly withdrawn. The MEA says the latest press release from the Mendota Elementary School Board contains factual errors and intentional omissions that “are at best disingenuous and at worst, intended to inflame these proceedings to the point where resolution is unlikely,” The union said it was not presented by the board with future mediation dates, but rather the Illinois Education Association UniServ Director received an email from the federal mediator, on Thursday offering prospective mediation dates (Oct. 9 and 10). “We have notified the mediator of our availability to meet on October 10th and to begin at 8 a.m. and bargain into the evening. Will the Board give this meeting the same priority?” the union says. “In contract negotiations, the words ‘final offer’ carry legal ramifications. … If the law is followed, the association must now accept that offer in its entirety or strike. It is confusing to us that the board publicized that it has presented its ‘final offer’ when they did not instruct the mediator to pass that message with the offer. Does this mean the board is negotiating in the press? If so, let us respond in kind by saying, ‘We reject your offer.’ “Also, if the board sent its ‘final offer’ with full understanding of the weight of those words, why are they also falsely stating they presented the association with future mediation dates?”

to grow the local economy.” BUSY PARK, BIG PICTURE The CGS noted that Starved Rock State Park attracts as many visitors as major national parks. “As the state’s most popular park, it has struggled with overcrowding certain days, necessitating closing the gates when parking lots fill, as occurred over Labor Day weekend,” CGS noted. The research findings are contained in “Starved Rock State Park & Lodge: Options for the Future,” a report recently released to IDNR and Lodge management. The report includes recommendations regarding parking shortages, managing large crowds, adding new facilities and lodging options, social media usage, and ways for the park, lodge and surrounding communities to work together. TIMELY, CONSIDERING FEE PROPOSAL, BUZZI UNICEM PROPERTY ANNEXATION The NIU Center noted that the completion of the CGS report is particularly timely with the recent addition of 2,629 acres to the west side of Starved Rock State Park and Matthiessen State Park adjacent to Oglesby. It’s also timely, CGS said, because of legislative consideration of charging entry fees to generate additional funding. In developing the report for Starved Rock, Evans and the CGS team drew from actual projects and successful experiences at State and National parks across the nation. Evans said certain questions needed to be answered for Starved Rock: ä Who visits the park? ä What is the relationship between the park and the surrounding area? ä Are there trends in demographics and interests that should be considered? ä Do other states have effective strategies for their most popular parks? As they worked to answer those questions, CGS researchers followed a methodology that included learning from IDNR, park and lodge management; surveying visitors, states, businesses, and agencies; researching trends; and interviewing management at parks in other states. The economic impact of the park and lodge also was considered. Contact IDNR for more information about Starved Rock State Park and Lodge or to request a copy of the report.

‘No one is above the law’ could backfire on Dems ‘ “No one is above the law,” said House Speaker Nancy Pelosi as she announced the Democratic effort to impeach President Donald Trump over the Ukraine matter. The phrase has become a Democratic mantra in Byron York the new impeachment NEWSPAPER push. But it ENTERPRISE ASSOCIATION could, in the end, serve to highlight the weakness of the Democratic strategy. The reason is, by stressing that Trump is not “above the law,” Democrats are basing their case against the president on the argument that he broke the law and must be held accountable. But it’s not at all clear that Trump broke any laws in the Ukraine matter. In the face of a vigorous Republican defense, any argument on that question is likely to end inconclusively. Democrats might better say, “No president is above impeachment,” which lacks punch but is more accurate. Doing so, however, would emphasize the political nature of the battle and could make it more difficult for Democrats to win broad support for removing Trump. So they say, “No one is above the law.” But what, exactly, does that mean? In his analysis of the case, the intelligence community’s inspector general, Michael Atkinson, wrote that Trump might have violated campaign finance laws. “U.S. laws and regulations prohibit a foreign national, directly or indirectly, from making a contribution or donation of money or other thing of value, or to make an express or implied promise to make a contribution or donation, in connection with a federal, state, or local election,” Atkinson wrote. The Democratic case is this: Trump asked Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky to investigate allegations that Joe Biden and his son Hunter Biden were involved in corruption in Ukraine. Any information Zelensky provided to Trump would be a “thing of value” and thus an illegal foreign campaign contribution. Some experts are not buying it. “I think it’s absurd,” Bradley

Smith, a former Federal Election Commission chair and a frequent critic of campaign finance laws, said in an email exchange. “If a ‘thing of value’ were interpreted so broadly, it would mean that foreign governments are consistently violating the ban in foreign spending whenever they take official actions that may benefit one candidate or another. Similarly, Americans would have to report such activity to the FEC. That is clearly not the law.” A more practical analysis of what is wrong with applying the “things of value” standard in the Trump-Ukraine case came from, of all places, the Mueller report. Special counsel Robert Mueller’s prosecutors considered charging Trump campaign officials, including Donald Trump Jr., with a campaign finance violation in relation to the infamous June 9, 2016, Trump Tower meeting. The Mueller report contained a detailed analysis of the issues involved and the reasons why the special counsel’s prosecutors concluded they could not make a winning case.

The issue involved Russians offering allegedly incriminating information on Hillary Clinton to the Trump campaign. Even if Mueller believed he could convince a jury that the information was a “thing of value” — in effect, an illegal campaign contribution — he had to concede that “no judicial decision has treated the voluntary provision of uncompensated opposition research or similar information as a thing of value that could amount to a contribution under campaign-finance law.” Discussing the Mueller Trump Tower issue, former federal prosecutor Andrew McCarthy wrote: “So, while there might be some conceivable scenario in which acquiring information from a foreign source for use in a campaign could be a federal crime, it is highly unlikely — so unlikely that some Type-A prosecutors wisely decided that the huzzahs they’d have gotten for indicting the president’s son were outweighed by the humiliation they’d endure when the case inevitably got thrown out of court.”

Weak as it is, the campaign finance violation case appears to be the Democrats’ best chance of showing Trump broke the law. But there are other possible cases. Some suggest Trump might have solicited a bribe by offering foreign aid to Ukraine in exchange for dirt on Biden. That, too, would be an extraordinarily difficult argument to make. Others suggest Trump obstructed justice — another long shot. And still others suggest Trump was involved in a conspiracy, which would require showing not only that the president committed a crime, but that he conspired with others to do it. Yet another long shot. The bottom line is, it will be very, very hard for House Democrats to show that Trump committed a crime in the Ukraine affair. Which is why some Democrats seem to be moving toward accusing Trump of engaging in misconduct that is more difficult to define, like violating his oath of office or betraying his country. Those are charges that seem solemn and weighty, but are also fuzzy

enough to use without getting into any detailed — and losing — legal argument. The Constitution says a president “shall be removed from Office on Impeachment for, and Conviction of, Treason, Bribery, or other high Crimes and Misdemeanors.” There has been a very long debate on what that means. To lay ears, it sounds like the president must be shown to have committed a crime to be impeached and removed from office. But the framers did not define “high crimes and misdemeanors,” and it is up to Congress to decide whether a president should be impeached, and, if so, on what grounds. So far, Democrats have not helped their cause by accusing Trump of criminal behavior. “No man is above the law” sounds good, but it requires the impeachers to make a case that the president did, indeed, break the law. In coming days, look for Democrats to seek an easier route.

land. Last week the park’s profile as an important spot to study North American history got a big boost from Dan Costello, who donated the collection of his father Dominic, who was a local park ranger in the 1960s, 1970s and 1980s. According Starved Rock State Park is re- to Costello, his father walked vered for its natural beauty, geo- nearly everywhere he could in logical features and many miles Starved Rock and Matthiessen of hiking trails.

He said tools came from BC, from European explorers the Woodland period (500 B.C. all the way back to native tribes to 1100) into the Mississippian that farmed and hunted the period (800 to 1600), marking a

transition from hunting to farming. The tops evolved again as Europeans entered the area and started trading. Geologist and volunteer Joe Jakupcak said most of the tools are made of flint. They likely came from fields where farmers tilled soil and brought them to surface. That no longer happens within the park, making the artifacts and collection that much more special. “The Starved Rock area has an unbelievable history,” Walczynski said while accepting Costello’s donation. “This is one of the most continuously inhabited areas of Illinois. There was a Peoria village right where we’re at right now.” Walczynski’s analysis squares with the DNR’s record of Hopewellian, Woodland and Mississippian Native American

cultures thriving on the banks of the Illinois River, well before the up to 7,000 Kaskaskias who had a substantial village across the river from what we now know as the crown jewel of the state park system. We salute Costello for turning his father’s hobby into something that will help educate of thousands of park visitors each year. “It’s what my dad would have wanted,” Costello said. “I’ve always appreciated them, but it deserves to have a lot more than me appreciating them. It’s where they came from, it’s where they belong.” We completely agree, and likewise support Park Superintendent Keri Novak’s pledge to have Illinois State Museum officials review the artifacts before determining the

best way to display them at the park’s visitor center. We’ve written about the modern problems with the park as it relates to being able to afford upkeep, visitors who ignore safety regulations and those who commit thoughtless vandalism. But those reports are an important part of the larger story of people who love the park and want to preserve it for future generations. Donations like Costello’s are an important part of not just preserving Starved Rock but enhancing its reputation as something far more than a nice place for a hike or a picnic. Sometimes it’s nice to be reminded just how lucky we all are to be living so close to such a wonder.

Remember our smallness, his greatness Every one of us needs to be reminded from time to time of our smallness and our greatness. Some days everything goes right. Some days everything goes wrong. Some days it’s, “Good morning, God.” Others it’s, “Good God, it’s morning.” Every now and then you Pastor Alex wake up to Garncarz sunshine and blue skies, ZION UNITED your favorCHURCH OF CHRIST ite shirt is clean, traffic PERU to work is smooth, the boss loves all your ideas, you finish early, then you find a $20 bill folded in the corner of your pocket. You go to bed at the end of the day convinced

that you are a truly upstanding human being. You must be doing something right. Then there are days that start out bad and get worse. You spill coffee on your favorite shirt. The car won’t start. When you finally get to work, your coworkers reject everything you say and do. You get home late and everyone is fighting. You go to bed convinced that you are a truly cursed, wretched worthless human. You must be doing something wrong. Most days of our lives fall somewhere in between these two extremes. Too much of either would make us very arrogant or very depressed. There is a dual quality of being human that is reflected in our experiences of “good” and “bad” days. An amazing Jewish theologian named Martin Buber said that our spiritual natures have two “pockets.” When we reach into one pocket, we pull out smallness. “We are nothing but dust

and ashes.” In the other pocket we find greatness. “For our sake the universe was created.” This two-part nature of being a human fills one pocket with humility. We stand before God and ask, “Who are humans, that You are mindful of us?” The other pocket holds another truth, “God created us a little lower than the angels.” If it is true that we are all saints, it’s also true that we’re all sinners who have fallen far short of the goals God has for us. We’ve always had the capacity to sin. We still do today. We can’t do it on our own, so God in His grace provided a way. “For God so loved the world that he gave his only Son, so that everyone who believes in him may not perish but have eternal life.” (John 3:16) The truth is we are, as Martin Luther put it, both saint and sinner together. We owe God our best effort and our total loyalty, but we also should remember to

depend on God for grace and forgiveness all those times when we fall short. We’re human and God knows it. Environmentalists have a saying that works as well to describe our spiritual nature as it does our responsibility to the health of our planet. You may have heard the slogan, “Think globally, act locally.” We may not be able to change the world, but we may be able to change our community or our neighborhood or our homes or ourselves. We may not be able to change ourselves, but we can offer ourselves up to the grace of God and let God change us. Then together we can experience a changed world. Our desire for a better world should never be forgotten just because we know that as humans, we often fall short of goals. May I suggest that we should continue to think globally and act locally?

Catholic bishops consider married priests in the Amazon By Manuel Rueda

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

SANTA ROSA, Brazil (AP) — At dusk in this small indigenous village, Antelmo Pereira calls local Catholics to prayer, changes into a white robe and

leads a religious service that is the closest thing the faithful in this remote part of the Amazon can get to a proper Mass. Pereira, 61, a part-time missionary for the past 15 years, volunteers at indigenous communities that rarely see a priest. He

leads prayer services but cannot celebrate Mass or hear confessions because he is married and has nine children. But that could change if a proposal to ordain married men in remote parts of the Amazon gains traction at a gathering of

bishops that opens Sunday. More than 100 bishops from South America will convene at the Vatican to discuss problems in the Amazon. One item on the agenda is the possibility of studying the expansion of priestly ordination to those with families.

Community Nurses’ sweet fundraiser Nurses from OSF HealthCare St. Paul Medical Center in Mendota have completed a successful fundraising drive to provide a scholarship to an Illinois Valley Community College nursing student. Second-year nursing student Stephanie Francis of Mendota was selected for the award by the IVCC Foundation. The campaign began in May with a collection of loose change during National Nurses Week. “Our theme was ‘Nurses supporting future nurses,’” said Kayla Payne, Saint Paul Surgical Services Manager. The drive recently exceeded its $500 goal by hosting a Root Beer Float Day. SUBMITTED PHOTO

‘Greatest feeling’ Cavs playoﬀ eligible for ﬁrst time since ‘09

By Brian Hoxsey SHAWS MEDIA

MINONK — Despite being ranked No. 1 in the latest Associated Press Class 2A poll, the Fieldcrest football team needed an offensive spark after a sluggish start against visiting Deer Creek-Macinaw Friday at Veterans Park.. Fieldcrest went three-andout on its first two possessions, but junior Jaxon Cusac-Mckay provided the kickstart with an electrifying 75-yard punt-return touchdown nearly midway through the first quarter for the game’s initial points. From there the host excelled on both sides of the ball on their way to a 42-6 Heart of Illinois Conference victory over the Chiefs on homecoming. The two rivals now have 10 wins each in the last 20 meetings dating back to 1996. “I don’t know if it was homecoming or being out of our routine, but while the defense played very well all night, offensively we struggled at the start,” said Fieldcrest coach Derek Schneeman, who’s club is now 6-0 overall and 3-0 in the HOIC. “(Dee-Mack) came out in a 5-2 cover-zero, and that was something we weren’t really expecting. We had to change our game plan a little bit on offense, but man did the defense, other than the one play to start the second half, play really well. “The punt return was huge for us tonight. I think after the second three-and-out we got a little tight. We were kind of like, ‘This hasn’t happened to us before this year.’ Jaxon is an electric athlete, and it was clear without a doubt he was the best player on the field in the first half. He gave us the spark we needed, and I think his return calmed everyone down.” Cusac-McKay collected six catches for 105 yards and recorded an interception on the night.

By Kevin Chlum NEWSTRIBUNE SPORTS EDITOR

OTTAWA — With his players all on a knee huddled around him, La Salle-Peru coach Jose Medina got to say something that hasn’t been said at L-P in a decade. “We’re playoff eligible,” Medina said. Senior Payton Piraino leapt to his feet and pumped his helmet in the air as every member of the team and coaching staﬀ let out a loud cheer. With Friday’s 35-14 comeback victory over rival Ottawa in an Interstate Eight Conference game, the Cavaliers won their

fifth game of the season to become playoff eligible for the first time since 2009. “It’s great for the program,” Medina said. “It’s great for those kids who bust their butts from January through the summer and into the season. I’m so proud of these guys. To get that fifth win means a lot to me, this football program, the coaches and the school as well.” While the Cavs (5-1, 4-0 Interstate Eight) are eligible for the postseason, they can guarantee a berth by getting a sixth win, but L-P knows the schedule gets more difficult as it closes with Morris (4-2) at home and Sycamore (5-1) and Kaneland

(5-1) on the road. “It’s honestly the greatest feeling that no one (at L-P) has had in a decade,” L-P junior Carlos Larios said. “Knowing we’re playoﬀ eligible, we’re going to keep that momentum going into the next three weeks even though the competition is going to be a lot harder.” Getting that fifth win was much harder for L-P than many anticipated it would be against the one-win Pirates. Ottawa came out strong, driving to L-P’s 29-yard line on the opening drive before turning the ball over on downs. The Pirates then forced the Cavs into a three-and-out.

Tigers rout Red Devils PHS limits Hall run game to just 3 yards By Kevin Hieronymus SHAW MEDIA

PRINCETON — Princeton football coach Ryan Pearson had a trying week leading up to the Tigers homecoming game Friday night. His father, Tom, had a serious fall oﬀ a roof at work on Wednesday in their hometown of Toulon, and has been put into a medically induced coma to allow him to heal facing a long road to recovery with multiple broken bones. The Tiger coach found some relief for two hours at Bryant Field, thanks to his boys in blue. The Tigers built a two-touchdown lead in the ﬁrst quarter and four-TD lead at halftime on the way to a 41-0 rout over rival Hall. “My thoughts and prayers are with my dad, but at the same time, (when) you go through a tragedy like that ... I’m very, very blessed I have a huge Tiger family here,” Pearson said. “And that has been an absolute blessing to have a group of kids and community that I care about so

They’ve been extremely supportive and has helped me get through it.” The win vaulted the Tigers to 5-1 overall and 3-0 in the Three Rivers Conference Mississippi Division heading into next week’s showdown against Kewanee (4-2, 3-0), which was a 47-14 winner over St. Bede on Friday. While Pearson normally keeps his team on an even keel, he allowed it to savor the special moment by doing a couple rounds of their celebratory “Tiger (jumping) Jacks.”

“We don’t usually do that. But I thought, big homecoming win like that, against a rival, it’s something to have a little extra excitement for our program,” Pearson said. Princeton senior Daniel Crowe said the Tigers were well prepared. “It’s good to celebrate after a good win. (Pearson) wanted that one bad after last year,” Crowe said of last years’ last-second loss at Hall. “We were prepared for this team. We heard a lot about See TIGERS Page B3

The teams traded punts before the Pirates capitalized on favorable ﬁeld position. Taking over at L-P’s 38, the Pirates needed just four plays to take an early lead as quarterback Brett Galletti plunged in from a yard out with 47.2 seconds left in the ﬁrst quarter. Ottawa stopped L-P on fourthand-2 on the Cavs’ next drive, but after the Pirates had to punt, L-P went on 11-play scoring drive. Julius Sanchez capped the drive with a 2-yard run, but Ottawa’s Austin Stanley to keep the Pirates ahead 7-6 with 4:55 See CAVS Page B3

LA SALLE-PERU’S TYLER HARTMAN Year: Senior Do you have any nicknames? Tyrezz and T-Bone. Do you have any pre-game rituals or superstitions? Team prayer before every game. What is your favorite Halloween candy? Warheads. What is the best Halloween costume you’ve worn? I dressed up as (former) Ohio State football coach Jim Tressel. If you could see any band/artist in concert, who would it be and why? I would go to a Lil Uzi Vert concert because he has so many good songs from diﬀerent albums and I would pick my favorites out of all of them to hear live. Last week’s accomplishments: Hartman used his arm and legs to help L-P to its fourth straight victory. The junior quarterback com- Hartman pleted 5-of-6 passes for 106 yards and two touchdowns while rushing for 100 yards and a score. Hartman on his performance: I think I played a pretty good game. Early in the game, the line had some big blocks to allow time for me to throw good passes and our receivers to go up and make plays. Our run game helped us set up play action, which was a big factor in the game. Coach Jose Medina says: Tyler is a captain and leader on the team. He’s always looking to push his teammates to get better and always wanting to get better himself. He has shown great growth in running and throwing the ball from week to week and will continue to be a force in our oﬀensive scheme.

FOOTBALL: 1A NO. 6 MORRISON 42, BUREAU VALLEY 0

Mustangs manhandle Storm, lock up playoff spot By Tommy Rose SHAW MEDIA

MORRISON — It was a tale of two opposites in a Three Rivers Conference Rock Division game Friday at Morrison’s Bud Cole Field. The undefeated Mustangs were celebrating homecoming and on the verge of locking up their first playoff berth since 2012, while Bureau Valley was still searching for its first win of the season. Morrison got its fifth win to become playoff eligible with a 42-0 win over the Storm. “We had a nice game, but too many penalties,” Morrison coach Ryan Oetting said. “We still have things to work on despite the score.” Though disappointed with the scoreboard, BV coach Mat Pistole was far from disappointed in his team. “We knew Morrison was going to hit hard. They’re as physical a football team as any in northern Illinois,” Pistole said. “Our kids got hit, got up and hit them back, and that was really good to see. “That’s as physical as we’ve played all year, and I was really proud of them.”

The Storm got the first crack at the ball, but had an unproductive drive and was forced to punt. The Mustangs, however, were able to get right to work with quarterback Nathan Helms leading the charge. Helms had two powerful running backs to hand the ball off to, the first of which, Keegan Anderson, barreled in for a touchdown run at 4:32 in the first quarter. “We’re pretty deep,” Oetting said. “I’ve had six kids who can play (running back). They can step up at any time, and I wouldn’t be afraid to put the ball in their hands in the first quarter or the fourth.” Morrison opted for the twopoint conversion, which was successfully made by Riley Wilkens to give the Mustangs an 8-0 advantage. BV was thwarted on its next possession when an interception by Keegan Anderson set up a Mustang’s drive. Anderson wound up running for another Mustangs touchdown at 3:40 in the first quarter. Helms made the successful 2-point conversion on a keeper to bring Morrison’s lead to 16-0.

The game took another bad turn for the visitors when the Storm fumbled and lost the ball on the following kickoff return. The Mustangs took advantage of the field position with Wilkens — the other back behind Helms — finding the end zone again on a touchdown run with 2:23 left in the first quarter. The following 2-point conversion extended the Morrison lead to 24-0. After another unsuccessful BV drive, the Mustangs threatened again with another Anderson run to the goal line with 38 seconds left, but fortunately for the Storm, a holding call on Morrison brought the ball back. “We’ve been a little penalty-ridden all year long,” Oetting said. “And they seem to come at unfortunate times where one was on the score there and another from lining up offsides.” After forcing the Mustangs to punt at the start of the second quarter, Bureau Valley was unable to turn the drive into a score. On the next Morrison possession, the Storm got a big boost when Dalton Dean intercepted a Helms’ pass, then ran it to the Morrison 20-yard line at 6:58 in the second quarter. The

FOOTBALL: 3A NO. 3 BYRON 61, MENDOTA 0

Mustangs’ defense again prevented a Storm score with a stop of Mac Nugent on a fourth-and-2 at 5:12 in the second frame. “I challenged them,” Oetting said. “Our backs were up against the wall, which hasn’t happened a lot this year. This was a time to shine and get them off the field without a score. It was nice for them to do that.” Nugent, who’s had his share of setbacks due to injuries, nevertheless continued his hard-nosed running to make the majority of progress on the field for the Storm. “He’s decided he’s going do everything he can to play,” Pistole said. “He’s working his tail off on the field and in practice.” Wilkens picked up another touchdown run with 46 seconds left in the first half for Morrison. After the 2-point conversion run by Jevin Smith, the Mustangs to took a 32-0 lead into halftime. The Storm seemed to pick up their intensity in the second half, with Morrison unable to score again until 8:20 in the third quarter when Kayden White kicked a 24-yard field goal to bump up the Mustangs’ lead to 35-0. Morrison struck again at the

start of the fourth quarter when Helms connected with Kolten Sage on a 13-yard touchdown pass at 11:22 to set the running clock in motion. The successful PAT kick by Ryan Kennedy gave the Mustangs a 42-0 lead they would keep to the end of the game. Oetting said he was happy to see his Mustangs (6-0, 4-0 TRC Rock)) lock up a spot in the playoffs, but reminded them there is still a lot more football to play. “It’s a nice feeling, but our next focus is on Week 7,” Oetting said. “We’re going go to ErieProphetstown and we will do our best, but it’s nice to know that’s in the back.” Meanwhile Bureau Valley (0-6, 0-3 TRC Rock) continues to focus on the season with positivity. “I heard the seniors talking tonight amongst themselves before the game that they want to change the culture of football in Bureau Valley, and that’s good to see,” Pistole said. “And the success of the sophomores is promising. We’re going in the right direction, and we’re excited to see what’s going to happen in the future.”

Ranked Tigers trounce Trojans Peru Catholic falls in By Brad Martin Sr.

NEWSTRIBUNE SPORTS WRITER

MENDOTA — The Byron football team dominated from start to finish as the Class 3A No. 3-ranked Tigers cruised to a 61-0 victory over Mendota Friday in Mendota during the homecoming contest. BHS took the ball and marched right down the field behind the massive offensive line led by Iowa recruit Tyler Elsbury. Isaac Stickler ran off right tackle for a 32-yard run and then Chandler Binkley did the same for 17-yards. A couple plays later, it was Leo Adami for the 3-yard touchdown run behind the big right tackle, but the extra point was blocked for a 6-0 Byron lead. “We pride ourselves on our offensive line here at Byron,” Tigers coach Jeff Boyer said. “Obviously led by Tyler Elsbury, but all those guys do a really good job for us and tonight was no different.” The Trojans’ offense, which was stopped in their tracks all night long, had to punt after a quick three—and-out that gave the ball back to the Tigers. On third-and-1, it was Stickler for a 25 yard run as he followed his blockers patiently. Then Ben Carlson used the play-action

pass and found Binkley for 27 yards that helped lead to a 1-yard touchdown run by Ian Palzkill for a 13-0 lead. Cody Jenner ran for a 7-yard gainer to start the Trojans next drive, but the BHS defense shut down Mendota from there and forced another punt. The Tigers were driving again on their next possession, but turned the ball over on a Josiah Fetherston fumble. Mendota gave the ball back as it would turn the ball over on downs. Byron had third-and-13 when Dayne Snodgreass picked up 12 yards. On fourth-and-1, Stickler picked up the first down on a 16yard run. That led to the next play where Snodgrass ran free for a 49-yard touchdown that pushed the lead to 20-0. The Trojans turned the ball over on a fumble and Snodgrass made them pay with an 8-yard touchdown run. Then 36 seconds later, Joey Saviano picked off a Ted Landgraf pass and returned it 32 yards to the end zone for a 34-0 advantage. After Mendota lost a yard on their next drive before punting, Byron converted a screen pass to Fetherston made it 41-0 on the first play of the drive.

Then with 1:03 left in the first half, Snodgrass sprang through the middle untouched for a 77yard touchdown run that made it 48-0 heading into halftime. Neither team did much in the second half as the running clock took effect right. However, on the Tigers’ second drive, Adami had runs of seven and 11 yards, respectively, before his 15-yard touchdown run on fourth-and-2. Ryan Keller ran 15 yards as the game ended with the score of 61-0. “That’s just a good football team over there in Byron,” Mendota coach Keegan Hill said. “They’re just a lot bigger and more physical than we are right now, but I’m proud of these kids. Once again for the second week in a row we have all kids eligible to play, which means they are getting the job done in the classroom, which is absolutely wonderful.” Jenner led the Trojans with 18 yards on 20 carries, while Landgraf threw for 41 yards completing two of his five attempts. Byron was led by Snodgrass with 170 yards on eight carries. Brad Martin Sr. can be reached at 220-6939 or at ntsports@ shawmedia.com.

Sports FOOTBALL: KEWANEE 47, ST. BEDE 14

Bruins can’t maintain early lead against Boilers By Brandon LaChance

NEWSTRIBUNE SPORTS WRITER

The zero under Bruins turned first on the scoreboard for the St. Bede football team during Friday’s Three Rivers Conference Mississippi Division game against Kewanee on Friday at the Academy in Peru. However, the numbers under guest changed more often as the Boilermakers were able to take advantage of SBA’s four turnovers — three interceptions and a fumble — for a 47-14 victory. “We had a couple of good first series. We stopped them, we went down there and scored and had the lead,” St. Bede coach Jim Eustice said. “We can do things. We can score a couple of times and stop them a couple of times. But over the course of 48 minutes, they have a size and an experience edge. Our kids fought until the end again. They play hard and they’re doing everything that we ask. We have a lot of young kids that are learning how to play football.” The Bruins found the end zone on their second possession of the game when junior quarterback Braden Damerell lined up in the backfield and took a handoff from sophomore Luke Story for a 4-yard rushing touchdown. Junior kicker Nick Pearse made the point after attempt to give the Bruins a 7-0 lead with 5:25 left in the first quarter. “We got caught in man coverage on their touchdown and we were picked apart,” Kewanee coach Brad Swanson said. “After that, we did a good job of getting our hands on guys for tackles.

St. Bede’s Tyreke Fortney (No. 1) is tackled by Kewanee’s Kavon Russell (No. 7) during the Bruins’ 47-14 loss in a Three Rivers Conference Mississippi Division game Friday in Peru. Linebackers were flying around and our defensive backs did a great job. We executed our game plan pretty well. “We got off of the bus a little flat, but our guys trusted the process and they did a really good job of sticking to the game plan, We really wanted to run the ball. We came out and established the

run. We have good weapons on offense and we tried to get our playmakers the ball.” Kewanee answered on its next drive when quarterback William Bruno found Kavon Russell for a 23-yard touchdown pass to tie the game at 7-7 with 2:34 left in the first. The game was still tied heading

into the second quarter, but not for long as Tayvlan Taylor ran for a 40-yard touchdown (10:07 second quarter), Bruno connected with Russell for a 63-yard touchdown pass (7:30 second quarter) and Taylor scored on a 6-yard gainer (2:07 second quarter). The Boilermakers (4-2, 3-0 TRC Miss.) went into halftime

Cavs

Senior Nick Krolak entered the game at defensive end after having to miss the first half and created a lot of pressure on Galletti in the backfield. After gaining 155 yards in the first half, the Pirates managed just 63 in the second half while Galletti also tossed an interception that led to a touchdown. “Nick Krolak brings a lot of pressure to our defense,” Medina said. “He creates some mismatches. He’s a tear. He does a great job. That was the biggest thing. We also played some man. Those type of adjustments (worked in the second half) and playing some smart defense.” Krolak also provided a spark to the offense as he muffed the second half kickoff but scooped it up at the 20 and returned it into Ottawa territory to start an L-P surge of three touchdowns in less than 10 minutes. Quarterback Tyler Harman scored on a 6-yard run, the Cavs forced a three-and-out and Larios bulled into the end zone from 5 yards out and Tre’Von Hunter intercepted a pass to set up a 32yard scoring strike from Hartman to Drake Weber on the next play to put the Cavs ahead 28-14. From there, the Cavs relied on Larios to eat up the clock as the junior ran for 220 yards on 34 carries.

left in the half. Ottawa kept the momentum as Galletti used his arm to quickly advance the Pirates down the field, finishing the drive with a 22-yard touchdown pass to Briar Naggs to send Ottawa to halftime up 14-6. “We started the year running a little more, but we sort of hit a wall when we got into the conference, so we’ve had to throw a little more,” Ottawa coach Chad Gross said. “Watching the film, we tried to see what we thought we could take. We thought against their defense, passing would be more positive for us than trying to run. We mixed it up the first half and we were able to get some big plays.” However, the Cavs were ready to respond. “We were more angry than anything,” Larios said about the mentality at halftime. “We knew we were a better team. We wanted to make sure we came out and showed who we really are.” L-P made some adjustments on both sides of the ball and outscored Ottawa 29-0 in the second half.

back Matt Lorton finished 20of-37 for 368 yards and a pair of scores. The first Lorton touchdown was to Henry Lorton with 3:59 left in the opening period to make it 13-0. Running back Kenton Castrejon (12 carries, 71 yards) then gave the home team a 20-0 advantage with a 10-yard dash early in the second — the first of his three rushing scores. The Fieldcrest defense, which allowed just 51 total yards, forced a pair of turnovers and stopped the Chiefs on each of their eight first-half possessions. The Knights forced the fifth punt of the half with a minute and a half remaining. The Knights’ offense cashed in on the seventh play of the 84yard drive when Matt Lorton found Cusac-McKay from 24 yards out to make it 28-0 at the intermission. “They are ranked No. 1 (in Class 2A), and I think that is a pretty deserving ranking. They have a big line, very good receivers and a good quarterback. They are a tough team,” said Dee-Mack head coach Job Linboom. “At times we played well and represented well, but at the end of the day they are just a better team than us. “We just want to take away the positives from tonight and use them the rest of the season. We wanted to come out and compete

“They are ranked No. 1, and I think that is a pretty deserving ranking. They have a big line, very good receivers and a good quarterback.” Dee-Mack coach Job Linboom and I really felt we did that in the first quarter. The punt return was disappointing because our punt coverage has been a bright spot for us this year. The one they got there right before halftime was a big one, too.” Dee-Mack (2-4, 1-2) broke the shutout on the first play of the second half as Karson Eccles picked up 69 of his 102 yards on a touchdown run up the middle. However, FHS responded with a nine-play drive that ended with Castrejon bulling over from the 2-yard line. The senior also scored early in the fourth from the 3-yard dash to finish off the scoring. Along with a solid game receiving from Cusac-McKay, Tisen Covington had five catches for 103 yards and caught two 2-point conversion passes, Keegan Robbins recorded four grabs for 71 yards and Henry Lorton had two grabs for 46 yards. Fieldcrest held a 451-178 advantage in total yards.

with a 26-7 advantage over the Bruins (0-6, 0-4 TRC Miss.) “We took some shots tonight. Kewanee is a very physical football team,” Eustice said. “We have three weeks left to try to get a win here. Give credit to Kewanee for coming and executing their game plan. They didn’t do anything we didn’t see in film. We practiced against it all week and they executed what they wanted to do. They’re a nice football team.” Taylor scored his third touchdown of the game with 7:03 on the third quarter clock with a 55-yard carry and Bruno threw a 39-yard touchdown pass to Keyontiss Patterson for his third throwing touchdown of the game to give Kewanee a 40-7 lead heading into the fourth quarter. The Boilermakers’ Tristan Park scored on a 2-yard run to enforce the running clock at the 4:58 mark in the fourth quarter. “We are playing for a conference championship,” said Swanson about Kewanee’s game next week against Princeton. “We’re the only two teams left undefeated. The winner is in the driver’s seat for the championship. That’s what we’re telling the kids and they’re excited to come to practice Monday.” St. Bede changed the scoreboard’s number last when Luke Story found the end zone on a 6-yard carry with 40.6 seconds left.

“We made a couple adjustments with a couple different blocks that really helped,” senior lineman Logan Turigliatti said. “Mostly on belly, we down blocked more and we went up to that linebacker because he was making that play every play. That really helped open up the game big time.” Larios and L-P’s big line wore down the Pirates as Larios had four runs of 10-yards or more on L-P’s final two drives, including the Cavs’ last scoring drive that ended with a 10-yard TD pass from Hartman to Colton Yanish. “Their offense is very tough to defend to beging with then they have a large line and backs who run hard and block well,” Gross said. “That’s the thing I don’t think people give them credit for. Those backs not only are good athletes but they really are good blockers. It makes it a very tough dynamic because they can go in either direction and any of the kids can carry the ball even the quarterback. You saw tonight he can make big throws. They’re definitely a team that’s going to make a nice run. I’m excited to see what they can do.” Kevin Chlum can be reached at 220-6939, or at kchlum@ shawmedia.com.

them. There was a lot of hype and talking going into this game and we knew we couldn’t overlook them. We kept our heads down, and we just did what we had to do, honestly.” Quarterback Tyler Gibson brought some excitement to the Tiger offense on homecoming night, rushing for two touchdowns and passing for two more. “We’ve been saving a couple things in the playbook and wanted to use all that stuff tonight,” Pearson said. “Gibby had a great game, not only through the air, but with his legs. It shows you that he’s a multi-dimensional quarterback.” Gibson got things going with a 4-yard TD strike to senior tight end Branden Haring at the 4:48 mark of the first quarter. Following a 9-yard TD by Ronde Worrels, Gibson ran for a 17-yard TD scamper and passed to Jacob Starr for 10 yards for another — both in the second quarter. Jamie Reinhardt’s fourth of five PATs on the night made it 28-0 by the half. Gibson, who passed for 85 yards and rushed for 43 more, added a 1-yard score in the third quarter.

I’d like to say that’s exactly how we drew it up. Wyatt made a heckuva play,” Pearson said. The Tigers’ defense held the Red Devils to 3 net yards rushing, including 57 negative yards, and 78 yards passing. A game official left the field, telling a partner “that team (PHS) is very physical.” Hall coach Randy Tieman

agreed. “They’re the real deal. They’re a good football team,” Tieman said. “We thought we were going to score. The kids didn’t come in here thinking they weren’t going to score. They took our run game away early and got ahead of us. “We made some mistakes in the pass game. That’s Grant (Resetich) getting back (at quarterback) for the first time. We got to figure out some stuff offensively. We’re holding the ball just a little bit too long.”

Ruby Rose as Kate Kane in “Batwoman”

Arrowverse expands Holy diversity Batman!: ‘Batwoman’ premieres on CW By Breanna Henry TV Media

may or may not own an overflowing stack of comic books that’s getting dangerously close to weighing more than its current shelf can handle, so it’s safe to trust me when I say that Batwoman, a.k.a. Kate Kane, is a fantastic character with a ton of incredible story potential. As someone who’s already a fan, I’m very interested to see how CW’s “Batwoman” recreates, reimagines or reinvents the title character, and luckily I won’t have to wait long. With the beautifully androgynous Ruby Rose (“The Meg,” 2018) at

Rachel Skarsten stars in “Batwoman” the helm (or cowl) and Rachel Skarsten (“Acquainted,” 2018) playing the totally twisted Alice, CW’s newest prime-time addition to its DC Comics-based Arrowverse — “Batwoman” — premieres Sunday, Oct. 6.

Not everyone seems to be as excited as I am about CW’s “Batwoman.” Many of the preemptively negative thoughts are likely the result of people being afraid. After all, Batwoman has a lot of fans, and people may be worried the show will portray the iconic and beloved character poorly. Much of the online negative sentiment about the show revolves around lead actress Rose, whose credits include a few less-than-stellar films. Rose’s castmate Skarsten is no stranger to caped crusaders. The Toronto native played the super-screeching Black Canary in “Birds of Prey” on the WB at just 16 years old.

Joining the two lead females are Dougray Scott (“Departure”) as Batwoman’s father, Jacob, Elizabeth Anweis (“NCIS: Los Angeles”) as her stepmother, Catherine, and Sam Littlefield (“The Messengers”) as Mouse. The cast looks fantastic, the trailers seem cool, and it seems hard to go wrong when you have such great source material with which to work. The fact that Skarsten has been cast as the “Through the Looking Glass”-quoting psychopath Alice actually provides a big hint as to where CW’s “Batwoman” creators Caroline Dries (“Smallville”) and Greg Berlanti (“Titans”) drew their inspiration for the show. Those

who’ve read the divisive 2010 Batwoman comic “Elegy” by Greg Rucka probably know what to expect from Batwoman and Alice’s on-screen relationship. For those not familiar with Rucka’s work, just know that you’re in for some of the “Batwoman” comic books’ most outrageous, unexpected and disturbing twists and turns. The psychedelic imagery and mind-warping colors for which the comic is known don’t seem to have been carried over to the new TV series, but other such DC Comics television programs (“Arrow,” “The Flash,” “Supergirl,” “Titans,” etc.) really seem to love dark, gritty and grey post-processing, and the

look feels right for the city of Gotham. Still, fans likely hope the show will attempt to pay some homage to the source material with a bit of outlandish cinematography at some point. It’s already become a topic of conversation when it comes to this series, so it’s worth mentioning that both Batwoman and the woman who plays her on TV are gay. Somewhat comically and incredibly ironically, the original Batwoman (Kathy, not Kate) was introduced way back in 1956 solely to discourage a controversy that arose in the previous year regarding Batman’s own perceived homosexuality.

HOLLYWOOD Q&A By Adam Thomlison TV Media Q: Season 3 of “Dr. Pimple Popper” began in mid-July, but the “season” only appearedto be three or four shows long, plus maybe one or two more that recycled previous shows with a few new minutes added in. Will more of Season 3 be forthcoming? And if not, will there be a Season 4? A: You’re absolutely right that Season 3 was particularly short, but no one’s sayingwhy. And no one’s saying, yet, whether there will be a Season 4. It seems like a safe bet, though — “Dr. Pimple Popper” has been a big hit for TLC. And you can take some comfort from the fact that the wait for new episodes probably won’t be long. One of the potential reasons that the season was so short is that the show doesn’t have seasons in the traditional sense — the breaks so far have only been six months long. That means Season 4 is due in about three months. But that’s assuming it sticks to a schedule, and the whole problem here is that reality shows, TLC ones in particular, don’t tend to do that. The first season of “Dr. Pimple Popper” had six episodes, the second season had 10, and this third season was back to six — but it was really just four with two repeat episodes featuring “bonus footage.” There was also a Christmasspecial in December. That last fact leads to another reason TLC has gotten away with such a short season — shows like this are more like compilationsof specials than “series” in the traditional sense. There’s no continuitybetween episodes, minus the presence of celebrity skin doctor Sandra Lee, so there’s less incentive to keep up a regular schedule. There’s another, less optimistic potential reason for the short season — “Dr. Pimple Popper” may be running out of the bizarre or otherwise excep-

Dr. Sandra Lee in “Dr. Pimple Popper” tional dermatological cases to film. Longevity must always be a challengefor shows like these, since their whole appeal comes from the rarity of the stories they tell. Q: Did Cary Elwes and Mandy Patinkin do their own sword fighting in “The Princess Bride”? It seems really believable. A: They’d be pleased to hear you say that, since they worked pretty hard on it. Cary Elwes, who starred in the film as Westley (32-year-old spoiler alert: he was also The Man in Black), wrote a book about the making of the film, and he devotes a fair bit of it to the challengehe and Patinkin faced to get their fencing up to scratch. Their task was to produce what was described in the original novel as the greatest sword fightin modern times. And what’s more, Elwes says in the book (“As You Wish: Inconceivable Tales from the Making of The Princess Bride”) that neither he nor Patinkin knew how to fence when they signed on. “When it came to sword fighting,I have to admit that I simply had no idea of the complexity of the preparation that would be required to perform it adequately,” he wrote, adding, “and simply adequate was not going to cut it.” Director Rob Reiner brought in the best to help with that

preparation. Peter Diamond and Bob Anderson were legendary fightco-ordinators and swordsmen in their own right who had previously trained Errol Flynn and Burt Lancaster and, more recently, co-ordinated all the lightsabre scenes in the Star Wars films. They trained eighthours a day in the weeks leading up to filming, and then during filming, Diamond and Anderson kept grabbing the actors for quick sessions between takes. “Unlike the other actors, we would not have the luxury of any downtime,” Elwes wrote. Though Reiner kept stunt doubles on hand the whole time in case either actor proved unableto pull it off, in the end they only had to use a double for a couple of brief shots involving acrobatic flips.

The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon We’re just three days away from the next Democratic debate — that’s right, 10 candidates all on stage talking over each other for ABC. It’s basically “The View” on steroids. Apple was caught breaking a Chinese labor law to build its latest iPhone. People in China were shocked, they were like, “Wait, we have labor laws?” Apple unveiled its new iPhones today and everyone’s excited because the new version has three cameras in the back — Apple says it takes such clear selfies you’ll find chins you never knew you had. Tonight was the third Democratic debate, and I read that all the candidates were warned not to swear at the debate — it got weird when Bernie was like “what about nudity?”

Q: What was the name of that movie where Bruce Willis was a Coast Guard officer or something? A: He isn’t actually a Coast Guardsman in it, but nonetheless I think the movie you’re looking for is “Striking Distance.” In that 1993 crime drama, Bruce Willis plays a reluctant member of the Pittsburgh Police’s River Rescue unit. He was previously a part of the core Pittsburgh Police Department, but was transferred to River Rescue after suggesting the serial killer plaguing the city was a fellow cop. Rest assured you aren’t the only one who’s nearly (if not totally) forgotten this movie. It was a flop at the box office and the review-aggregatingwebsite RottenTomatoes.comgives it just a 17% approval rating. Indeed, one reviewer singled out the title itself for criticism. “That generic action movie title is a tipoff you’re heading into disposable cinema.”

John Legend [has] long been an advocate of criminal justice reform. On Sunday he appeared on an MSNBC town hall with Lester Holt to talk about it, broadcast from a prison yard. Apparently, the president tuned in. I assume he was trying to catch a glimpse of some of his former campaign staff. Trump goes through staffers like a high 17-year-old goes through Little Debbie Sweet Rolls. Last night, the president had a warning about those godless Democrats — now I happen to know a lot of Democrats who are religious but I will admit, when they see you on TV they mumble, “There is no God.”

Trump called John Legend a “boring musician” and called Chrissy Teigen a “filthy-mouthed wife.” In other news,

A Utah woman was recently arrested after calling the police to report a possible drunk driver. It turns out the drunk driver that she was reporting was her. She gave her own licence plate number and police found a near-empty bottle of Fireball Whisky in her car.

FEATURE STORY Seventh season stretch: ‘The Blacklist’ returns to prime time By Kyla Brewer TV Media

n an era of seeminglyneverending distractions, it can be tough to reel in viewers week after week, but one thrilling drama has captivated audiences with unpredictable plot twists and a charismatic star. James Spader (“The Practice”) is back in prime time as Raymond “Red” Reddington in the seventh season of “The Blacklist,” airing Friday, Oct. 11, on NBC. After a nail-biting Season 6 finale in which Red was abducted by Katarina Rostova (Laila Robins, “Planes, Trains & Automobiles,” 1987), his fate is uncertain and fans of the show are likely eager to catch up with the one-time “concierge of crime.” When “The Blacklist” premiered in 2013, former U.S. Navy officer-turned-fugitive Raymond Reddington surrendered himself to the FBI and offered to help them track down dangerous criminals in exchangefor immunity from prosecution. He insisted he’d only help the authorities if he could work with rookie criminal profiler Elizabeth Keen (Megan Boone, “Law & Order: LA”). His reasons for recruiting Keen to his mission were initially unclear, but revelations throughout the first six seasons have kept viewers hooked. At first, it appeared that Red was her biological father, but further evidence revealed the man posing as Red was merely an imposter who had killed the real Reddington years before, or so the story goes. Now it looks as if Keen’s mother, or alleged mother at least, is back in the picture. Rostova was presumed dead, but at the end of last season, Red raced to Paris to meet with her on a dark city street. There, Rostova — if that is indeed who she is — stabbed him before a van showed up to take him away. The scene set up another season of intrigue and action, which will continuethe story of the trio. In a September article on ew.com, executive producer John Eisendrath said, “The sort of triangle of Katarina, Liz and Red will shine new lighton the mythology of the show.”

Over the course of the first six seasons, Red and Keen have nabbed all sorts of nefarious characters, but it appears Rostova may be one of the most dangerous. Despite the fact that Red told Keen at the end of last season that she didn’t have anything to worry about as far as Rostova goes, it’s quickly apparent that he may not have all of the facts. There’s a parallel between Rostova and her daughter in that both women chose to give up their children to protect them. However, Keen brought her daughter Agnes home at the end of Season 6, so it remains to be seen whether Agnes is truly safe. These kinds of storylines keep fans of “The Blacklist” on the edge of their seats, and Spader’s critically acclaimed performance as Reddington doesn’t hurt, either. The actor rose to fame thanks to roles in such films as “Pretty in Pink” (1986) and “Sex, Lies, and Videotape” (1989), for which he won the Best Actor Award at the prestigious Cannes Film Festival. He’s also known for his performances in “Stargate” (1994), “Crash” (1996) and “Secretary” (2002), and he earned a place in the Marvel Cinematic Universe as the voice of Ultron in “Avengers: Age of Ultron” (2015). Spader’s television credits are just as impressive. He’s one of the few actors to win Emmys for portraying the same character in two different series, having won forhis role as Alan Shore in both “The Practice” and “Boston Legal.” He won an Emmy for “The Practice” in 2004, and two Emmys for “Boston Legal” in 2005 and 2007. He later joined the cast of NBC’s hit comedy “The Office” in Season 8. Spader’s success at NBC continuesalongside his fellow cast members in “The Blacklist.” Like Spader, Boone has a history with NBC, having starred as Junior Deputy District Attorney Lauren Stanton in “Law & Order: L.A.” Her film credits include “My Bloody Valentine” (2009) and “Step Up Revolution” (2012). “The Blacklist” also stars Diego Klattenhoff (“Homeland”) as FBI agent Donald Ressler,

2 • NewsTribune • October 5 - 11, 2019

James Spader stars in “The Blacklist” Amir Arison (“Law & Order: Special Victims Unit”) as FBI agent Aram Mojtabai, Hisham Tawfiq (“Gun Hill,” 2011) as Red’s bodyguard and close friend Dembe Zuma and Harry Lennix (“Dollhouse”) as Harold Cooper, assistantdirector of the FBI Counterterrorism Division.

The cast and crew have been busy cooking up a new season of “The Blacklist” since it was offered an early renewal for Season 7 back in March. Even though the show took a hit in the ratings last season when it moved to Friday evenings, it’s clear that NBC has been happy enough with its average of

more thanseven million overall viewers. In fact, the popularity of the show led to a spinoff, “The Blacklist: Redemption,” which aired in 2017. Unfortunately, the Spader-less series failed to find an audience and was soon canceled. However, “The Blacklist” has reached

beyond the limits of television, inspiring both a comic book series and the mobile game, “The Blacklist: Conspiracy.” As new dangers arise in Season 7, find out what’s next for Red and Keen in a new episode of “The Blacklist,” airing Friday, Oct. 11, on NBC.

SPORTS FEATURE Luckless Colts: Jacoby Brissett leads Colts against the Chiefs in SNF By Ryan Guebert TV Media

eek 5’s Sunday night matchup will be a rematch of last season’s AFC divisional clash between the Indianapolis Colts and Kansas City Chiefs at Arrowhead Stadium. The Colts look to upset the powerhouse Chiefs and redeem their one-sided playoff defeat before they head into their bye week. Tune in Sunday, Oct. 6, for live coverage of NFL action on NBC. The Colts lost Andrew Luck for the entire 2017 season following an injury but bounced back in 2018 with Luck in full fitness. They improved their 4-12 record to 10-6 with Luck back under centre and got as far as the AFC Divisional, where they lost to the Chiefs, 31-13. The Colts were considered an AFC championship contender entering 2019, however on Saturday, Aug. 24, two weeks before the start of the regular season, Luck announced his retirement. At the age of 29, Luck was just entering

the prime of his career as a quarterback, but after suffering countless injuries in his seven NFL seasons, his decision to remove himself from football was one of necessity. Even without Pro Bowl running back Kareem Hunt (now with the Cleveland Browns) and missing Tyreek Hill to a shoulder injury since Week 1, the Chiefs have picked up exactly where they left off last season, with Patrick Mahomes dominating on offence. The Chiefs finished 12-4 last season and might have made a Super Bowl appearance had it not been for the late-game heroics of Tom Brady and the New England Patriots, winners of the AFC championship in overtime. It’s the start of the Jacoby Brissett era in Indianapolis, and it’s started out much stronger than when he filled in for Luck in 2017. See if luck plays a factor for the Colts when they visit Arrowhead Stadium as the underdogs against the Chiefs in a rematch of the 2018 AFC Divisional. Tune in Sunday, Oct. 6, for live coverage of the action on NBC.

CELEBRITY BIO

LL Cool J: From hip-hop pioneer to TV superstar By Shona Dustan TV Media

in 2013), he tried his hand at acting for the first time in the early 1990s and has been a regular fixture on big and small screens ever since. His first movie role was a small one in “The Hard Way” (1991), alongside James Woods and Michael J. Fox, and he’s appeared in many blockbusters since, including “Deep Blue Sea” (1999), Oliver Stone’s “Any Given Sunday” (1999), “Deliver Us from Eva” (2003), “S.W.A.T.” (2003) and “Grudge Match” (2013). His prolific career has paired him with some of the biggest names in Hollywood, from Robert DeNiro, Kim Basinger and Sylvester Stallone to Samuel L. Jackson and Al Pacino. His television work began in 1995, when he was cast as one of the lead characters of NBC’s “In the House,” which ran for five seasons, from 1995 to 1999. Ten years later, he returned to the small screen as SSA Sam Hanna in two episodes of “NCIS,” and those episodes were used as a backdoor pilot for the spinoff “NCIS: Los Angeles.” He’s been playing Hanna ever since. You can catch him in a new episode of Season 11 airing Sunday, Oct. 6, on CBS.

James Todd Smith, a.k.a. LL Cool J, had a traumatic childhood. When he was 4 years old, his father shot his mother and grandfather, very nearly killing them both. It was the young LL who found them there, covered in blood. Bouncing back from a tragedy like that is no small feat, but this man has never been one to settle for small accomplishments. He was only 9 when he started rapping, deeply influenced by The Treacherous Three (an early/trailblazing rap group), and hell-bent on making it big. His grandfather was a saxophonist who encouraged LL’s interest in music, buying him amps, turntables and mixers as an “investment.” LL began making demo tapes immediately, and when he was 16, Rick Rubin and Russell Simmons, co-founders of the fledgling Def Jam Records, tracked him down and convinced him to sign with their label. Ever wonder where the name “LL Cool J” came from? It stands for “Ladies Love Cool James” — yes, the moniker seems a little hokey now, but it’s also somehow endearing. LL’s first single, “I Need a Beat,” was released in 1984, and he started performing on stage the same year. His hard work and dedication was as impressive as his musical gifts, and the commercial success of this first single was a huge benefit for both him and his record label. He was a pioneer of the hip-hop scene, one of the first to be recognized by mainstream media and fans; in 1986, he became the first hip-hop act to appear on “American Bandstand.” In 1990, he released his fourth studio album, “Mama Said Knock You Out,” which went double-platinum, was critically acclaimed, earned him a Grammy and is still adored by millions of fans. Though he never abandoned his music career (he’s released 13 full-length studio albums, the most recent

FACTS:

- Was featured in the PBS series “Finding Your Roots,” and found out that through his mother (who was adopted), he’s the great nephew of boxing hall of famer John Henry Lewis - He’s written four books: an autobiography, a children’s book, a fitness book and a book for young adults - Currently hosts the series “Lip Sync Battle” on Paramount Network - Broke a burglar’s nose and ribs when he caught the man trying to rob his home in 2012 - Received an honorary degree from Northwestern University in 2014
